Why do cinnamon rolls collapse after baking? ›

If you let your cinnamon rolls rise for too long you can over-proof them. This can lead to dense rolls or rolls that collapse after baking.

FASTER BAKE METHOD: Place rolls 2 inches apart on greased cookie sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes at temperature above.

Too much flour in your dough will give you dry, dense rolls. You can always add a bit more flour after it has kneaded if it's too sticky to work with. Letting your dough double rise will improve its texture and volume. It should rise until double in size.

They will expand more when baked. Preheat the oven to 375F. Brush the tops of the rolls with water or any kind of milk before baking. Cover your pan with foil or a lid (if using a cast iron) and place into preheated oven.

Don't Overbake Cinnamon Rolls

Overbaked cinnamon rolls are tough and chewy instead of light and pillowy. Since it can be a bit tricky to know when rolls are fully baked, use a digital thermometer. Bake cinnamon rolls until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches between 190°and 200°F.

These are easy to make ahead. You have two choices: you can make the dough and chill up to 2 days, then shape, let rise and bake, as described in the recipe, OR you can make the dough, chill for 2 hours, then shape, cover with plastic wrap that is sprayed with nonstick spray and chill for up to 2 days.

Cinnamon rolls have a great shelf live. They stay good at room-temperature for up to 2 days, in the fridge for up to a week, and in the freezer for up to 2 months if stored properly. Store them in an airtight container or wrap them tightly with plastic wrap.

A: Hi Sue, We recommend baking all the dough at once then refrigerate or freeze prepared product for later use. Opened dough should be baked within two hours.

After approximately 30 minutes, test for doneness. Use a paring knife or fork to pull up the center-most roll; if the dough is still sticky and raw-looking, return the pan to the oven for about ten more minutes. The rolls should be golden to dark brown on top, and fully baked in the center of the coil. 12.

The only extra effort is making sure you have heavy cream in your fridge for when you bake the rolls. Everyone I know who has tried this says they'll never bake cinnamon rolls another way — it's just too simple a step to skip for such a big delicious payoff.

Make sure to give the dough enough time to rise, as this is crucial for achieving a fluffy texture. If you rush this step, your cinnamon rolls may end up dense.

Roll Dough Up Tightly

Once you've spread the filling over the dough, roll up the dough into a tight log, pinching the edges firmly to seal. Rolling the dough tightly helps the cinnamon rolls hold their shape while rising and baking.

Some ovens run hotter than its settings, some cooler. If the oven is too hot the loaf will be brown and crispy on the outside but doughy in the middle and may collapse as it cools. When bread is baked at too low a temperature it will not rise enough in the oven resulting in a dense and sunken loaf.

If the dough doesn't spring back at all, you've likely over-proofed the dough. When the dough rises too much before it gets baked, it will collapse, rather than rise, in the oven's heat, and the crumb will be uneven and ragged.

The most common reason why your quick bread sinks in the middle is you added too much wet to dry ingredients. Your wet dough or batter contains too much liquid and didn't cook properly due to its water content.
